WASHINGTON, When you see a

D. C, Sept. 15. straight stretclfof

road in front of you, don't speed up. You are going fast enough already. Every time you decide to open the throttle and burn the road fop a while, you are in a measure risking your own life and the lives of other people. At least, that seems to be the opin-

history classes are preparing a very .V - n.uHnr . ; mobile trail. c, wha are trym? to solve

interesting 1 program, consisting of

music and short orations which will be rendered as a tribute to the day

the ever-growing accident problem. For exemple, Harry D. Willar, assistant

on which our fore-fathers adopted thejlef engineer of the Maryland Slate

constitution of the United States of

America, our Charter of Liberty. During this program the beautiful Pilk flag which was presented to the High School by the Woman's Relief Corps during the G. A. R. Encampment will be displayed before the school for the first time. The public and especially all patriotic organizations, are cordially invited to be present. Hon. D. L. Gaskill will make a short address to the students. Probate Court. William E. McCarter and Victor C. McCarter, filed resignation as executors of the will of Benjamin M. McCarter, deceased. BenjaminT: McCarter. executor of the will of Benjamin M. McCarter, de- . ceased, filed additional bond In the ' sum of $7,000. "Order of public sale of real estate issued in same. J. E. Haines, administrator of the fstate of Isaac Kerst, deceased, filed petition for private sale of personal rroperty. Order of sale issued. Order of appraisement of real estate issued in estate of Elnora Sprowl, deceased. Shilt Asks Divorce. Garrett Shilt, who was married to Catherine Shilt on the 23rd day of February, 1918, has filed a petition in Common Pleas Court through his attorney, Kirk Hoffman, praying for a divorce. Shilt alleges in his petition that his wife owns a house on Wayne Avenue in Dayton and he owns fourteen acres of land in Twin Township. The wife has two children by a former marliage and he has four and everything went along serenely after their marriage until George Keyer, her husband by a former marriage, began pestering around ostensibly to see his children, and when he (Shilt), objected, his wife cursed and abused him j-nd his children, and things went from bad to worse, and finally on October 17. 1920. hhe Racked ud her

belongings and such other household Roods as she wanted, and went to Dayton, where she has since resided. Shult now asks for an absolute divorce, that his wife be debarred of any right in his land or other property, and for all other relief to which he may be entitled. Minister to Be Tried. The case of the state of Ohio ex rel. Mary Sellers vs. Rev. John Wade, charged with paternity will come up for a second trial Sept. 24. Matinee Club Meets. The meeting of . the Darke County Matinee club was held in the office of the county commissioners Tuesday night to discuss matters pertaining to : the club, which has the race-course leased at the fair grounds until one week prior to and during the Great Darke county fair. The club was contemplating putting on some harness races for purses to be followed by automobile races, details of which will be given the public later, the first or second week in ' October.

Suburban

Roads Commission, finds that most of

the accidents Li that state occur on straight stretches of the best road, and not at intersections or at curves. Passing on such stretches is a leading cause of accidents. Sometimes the faulty driving or judgment of the man who i3 trying to pa;s another car is the cause, and aout as often it Is due to the failure of tlw .nan ahead to give right of way. Willar's observations directly contradict the statement which has often been made that most accidents pn surfaced roads are !ue to skidding. They concur, however, with the opinions of many other observers. The danger increases In direct ratio as the speed increases. Few accidents of any moment occur in crowded traffic because everyone is going slowly, and necessarily taking a good deal of care. Neither do many accidents occur on rough country roads, where it is hard to make more than 18 miles an hour. But when one" car is making 30 miles an hour on a long stretch of road, and

another tries to pass it, necessitating a speed of perhaps 40 miles, the scene is set for an accident. The man ahead may not hear the signal, may veer to the left after the other car is alongside, forcing it into the ditch or over an embankment. Then there is the car coming from the other direction, perhaps also at 40 miles an hour. It may be out of sight around a curve a mile ahead one minute, and less than a minute later, it will be directly in front of the two cars approaching from the opposite direction. There are few roads that will safely accommodate all three cars in a row. A Neglected Subject. It is amazing how little this subject of automobile accidents has been studied. You can find nothing but scattered and conflicting opinions on the subject. And yet the problem is a most serious one. Automobiles kill more people in a year in New York state than have been killed by Mex

ican oanaits and rebels in 7 years, according to one authority. In four years the number of deaths in New York City annually due to auto accidents increased from 4S3 to 1,213. All over the country it is the same. Auto accidents kill more people than railroad accidents and more than robbers. Automobiles are the greatest single cause of violent death in America, and worse than that, the number of fatalities due to them grows steadily. We are evidently approaching an intolerable condition. Yet no one seems to Lave found it worth while to make a thorough analysis of the causes of ac

cidents, so locating the chief factors of danger, and provij.u a basis for their control.

A study of what i fom;:CQ on ths subject can be found brings out strongly two conclusions. In the first place, the fundamental cause of most accidents is speeding the misuse of the enormous power which a motor car puts in the driver's hands. In the second place, the control of accidents is best accomplished, not by elaborate traffic regulations, but by imposing heavy penalties vipon a man when he actually causes damage by his carelessness, and, above UI, by the revoking of licenses for repeated offenses.

AFFAIRS OF STATE REST AS GRANDPA READS TO DOROTHY

In New York City the same driver has teen convicted of careless driving sLi times in a single year, and is still driving. He is at least as much menace to the public safety as the average gunman.

Education is here needed. When the people have been made to lealize that careless driving is crime, and to demand pioper punishment tor it. then the courts will begin meting out that uti.iishment. A campaign to educate the pedestrian will have to go along with the other. Beyond a doubt, pedestrians who dart across the 6treet In the middle of the block, and children who chase balls across the street, present the autoist with a problem which he can successfully &olve only by luck. r

Abuse of Power. i F. B. House, presiding magistrate of the New York Civ Traffic Court, believes that the problem of auto accidents is largely a problem in preventing the abuse of power by applying adequate punishment for such abuse. It is an axiom of social observers that any man who has power will tend to abuse it. Every taonareh, every fathf.r, every owner of a dog. is more or less a bully. He has power over something else, and he has an inepressiblj tendency to abuse it, , the while making excuses to himself fcr what he does. The man who has 50 horsepower under his throttle is no exception. He cannot resist -he temptation

sometimes to step on her and make ter fly. " He cannot help leeling that the pedestrians ought to have sense enough to keep out of the way. The effort to restrain this man in his exuberent moments bv complicated regulations is a failur?. For example, Washington has several speed limits, according to the block. But a man does not go alcug al'ernately studying his speedometer ani counting the houses in the tlock especially atnilit. Here ihe fallacy of co mucli American legislation is again illustrated. Here is the theory, seen in a hundred prohibitory laws of oue kind and another, that if you just enact enough regulations about a man's conduct, you can save both his life and his eou!. What you actually accomplish It to make his life a buraen with vour endless restrictions, and to cramp the development of whatever he ciiy have in the way of a so-il. The onlv legal method that has ever worked is to give him all the freedom possible, make laws as few and sknpla as possible, and when the man actually does harm, punish him severeiv, or if he is irresponsible, confine hiiii in an institution. After all civiliza! '.on is only possible on the theory that rio&t of us are responsible beings who can 1 e trusted. If most of us are not that, then the ration should be converted into one great asylum witi a high fence around it. To come back to motoring, the speed limits have -worked little except injustice anywhere. One man 'breaks the limit every day and is never caught. Another man goes a mile an

hour too fast once, and happens to be am-sled. Once a month or so the cops turn out and make a few arres'r. That is all they can do. A si-ecd limit cannot be enforced moie than a few per cent, nor can any other statute regulating conduct Furthermore, what is a safe speed depends entire. on circumstances. Let a man drive as he will. If he irjures some one, ana the cause is his own carelessness, put him in jail. Punish him adeouately. If he, does it again, revoke his license. This, in the opinion of most experis, is the solution. Multiplicity of absurd laws, with lenient and incompetent courts, cost heavily every year in life and property.
